About
Jacqui Fine
Founder & Principal Consultant, FINE People Advisory
"I started FINE People Advisory because I believed there was a better way to do finance recruitment — one built on genuine relationships, deep market knowledge and a commitment to getting it right."
Jacqui Fine founded FINE People Advisory after more than two decades working across finance and talent — first as a finance professional, then as a specialist recruiter, and throughout as a trusted adviser to the people and organisations she has worked with.
That dual background is what sets FINE People Advisory apart. Jacqui understands finance from the inside — the pressures, the priorities, the difference between a technically strong candidate and one who will genuinely thrive in a particular environment.
Background
Finance experience that informs every search.
Before moving into recruitment, Jacqui built her career in finance roles across a range of industries, gaining firsthand experience of what it means to operate as a finance professional at a senior level. That experience shapes how she approaches every brief — not as an external observer, but as someone who has sat in the roles she is filling.
Her transition into specialist finance recruitment brought a different kind of depth — an understanding of the talent market, of what organisations are really looking for when they brief a recruiter, and of how to identify and attract candidates who are not actively looking but who represent the best possible fit.
Over more than two decades, Jacqui has built an extensive network across the Sydney finance community and beyond — relationships with CFOs, finance leaders, business owners and boards that have been developed through consistent, honest and considered engagement.
Approach
Direct, considered and personally accountable.
FINE People Advisory operates as a boutique practice by design. Every assignment is managed directly by Jacqui — there are no junior consultants, no hand-offs and no volume targets. When you engage FINE People Advisory, you work with Jacqui from the first conversation to the final appointment.
That means the quality of every introduction reflects her judgement and her reputation. It also means she is genuinely invested in the outcome — not just in filling a role, but in making an appointment that works for both sides over the long term.
Jacqui works with a small number of clients at any one time, which allows her to give each assignment the attention it deserves and to maintain the standards she holds herself to.
